Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

"You, as a husband, where were you? Off with another woman, showering her with attention and care. The things you should've been doing as a husband, you didn't forget how to do them-you just chose to give them to someone else."

"Are you feeling angry and wronged now? So you lash out at other men, but let me tell you, Ethan, you're the last person who has any right to blame anyone else."

Selena had kept these words buried deep, thinking she'd never voice them, because some wounds are just too painful to revisit...

Over the years, she'd often find herself crying in her dreams. Her depression deepened with each cycle of tears and grievances, trapping her in a quagmire she couldn't escape.

How strong must a person's love be to forgive and endure time and time again?

Ethan would never understand that she once loved him with everything she had.

Ava came back just in time to hear Selena's words. She rushed over like a protective hen and shoved Ethan aside.

"Mister, you've got a child with another woman. You have no right to bother Mrs. anymore. You're a despicable jerk!"

She let him have it, then gently helped Selena up and turned to leave.

Ethan stood there, stunned, while the other expectant mothers looked at him with disdain, whispering among themselves.

Mila sat nearby, covering her face with embarrassment. It was utterly humiliating...

...

Back in the car, Ethan leaned against the leather seat, silent.

Alex, in the passenger seat, glanced back at him. Seeing her boss looking like he'd just stepped in something nasty, she didn't dare make a sound.

What on earth happened?

She frantically signaled to Mila, hoping for some clues. Mila hesitated but finally spoke up.

"It's partly my fault for dragging Ethan along for my prenatal check-up. We ran into Selena just now."

Mila shot Ethan a sideways glance. "But it's not all my fault. He's got plenty of issues himself, you know? Now I get why he's in this 'chasing his wife through hell' situation, It's all because of that mouth of his. He can't say a single nice thing."

"Forget about Selena, even as an outsider, listening to him makes me want to knock some sense into him."

Alex didn't dare mock her boss openly, but she subtly gave Mila a thumbs-up in agreement.

Ethan's dark eyes glared coldly at Mila. "One more word out of you, and you'll be raising this child on your own."

Mila's eyes widened in panic. "No,

please... I... I'm divorced and

pregnant with my ex-husband's child. If my parents found out, they'd kill me Ethan, dear brother, I'mnoveldrama

counting on you as the uncle of this

chifd. You can't just leave me

hanging."

Ethan eyed her coolly. "Then why did you insist on having your ex-husband's

child? He doesn't want you anymore; what are you hoping for?"

Mila replied, "What else? A woman bears a man's child for one reason only: because she loves him! Even if we can't be together in the future, I can still have a child who shares his blood. Is that wrong?"

Her words hit Ethan like a ton of bricks.

A woman is willing to have a man's child because she loves him?

So... is that why Selena was willing to have Rhett's child so soon after they got together? Because she truly loves Rhett?

So quickly?

Had she really moved on and fallen for Rhett so completely?

This realization hit Ethan like a punch to the gut, leaving him pale and aching.
